"The results are not always what we hope, that is for sure, but I think I'm also trying to look at performance. With a young team, we're in these games. We have to keep working hard, keep believing, keep giving these young players opportunities to grow, and as well, learn and do the things better, which we have to do better."
"We've got to keep working. We've got to take the positive out of that. The energy from the team was good. We've got to take that and keep working hard. And then I'm 100% convinced that we will win games."

He stresses the importance of maintaining belief, providing opportunities for young players, and continuing hard work.
